Ghoul | Gateway Disc Sports · Discgolf-Dorado.com

The "Ghoul" from Gateway Disc Sports fills the gap between a classic putter and a compact approach tool. With a speed of 3 and fade of 3, it offers significantly more end stability than typical putting putters, making it ideal for precise approaches in mid-range distances and windy conditions. The distinctive thumbtrack surface—a concave groove on the top—enhances grip and ensures controlled releases on approach shots. Unlike bulky utility discs, the "Ghoul" remains compact and easy to handle, facilitating quick adjustments and clean releases. Gateway offers it in Sure Grip and Lunar plastics, with Lunar available in varying firmness levels to provide different grip feels. In flight, the "Ghoul" exhibits overstable behavior with a straight initial path and reliable fade at the end. A turn of 0 means it hardly drifts to the right, even on powerful throws, maintaining its intended line instead. The moderate glide of 3 prevents excessive float and ensures the disc lands promptly after fading. This combination of low speed and high stability makes it a predictable choice for approach shots where distance control matters more than maximum range. The pronounced fade of 3 ensures the disc reliably pulls left and stops where intended. On hyzer lines, the fade intensifies, making it great for short dogleg shots or navigating around obstacles. For anhyzer releases, the "Ghoul" resists turn and recovers early, enabling controlled S-curves in close-range play. It performs well for both forehand and backhand throws, with the thumbtrack geometry offering extra stability for forehand approaches. Designed for players of all skill levels, beginners will appreciate its forgiveness in the wind, while advanced players will value its precision for technical approaches.
